GUEST BIO:

Me: I grew up in Portland, OR, learning to appreciate the good coffee and beer that can be found in the pacific northwest, along with the amazing outdoor wonderland, which I backpacked religiously, with my husband and yellow lab, Thea. That was before kids, and before my body decided that it didn’t appreciate sleeping on the cold ground any longer…

My Family: I am incredibly blessed to be the mom of two adorable, sassy little boys, Elliot and Declan. Never a dull moment with these two in tow! My husband, Ty, is on this exciting ride with me. I’m the planner; he brings the spontaneity. Our goals: raise good humans, do what we love, and never stop exploring. In 2021 we moved to Bend, OR and have been enjoying the exploration of a new terrain, with mountains, lakes, and the Deschutes River.

My Career: Graduating from Portland State University in 2007, I began my career with Northwestern Mutual in 2008. At that time, I was running an internal team, building financial plans for multiple advisors in the state. But I have always had a passion for building relationships and helping make an impact in the lives of those I come across so, in 2014, I started my financial planning practice. I love what I do and feel extremely lucky to have a career that helps people achieve their goals and capture financial peace.
